Description by Michael Welch:  #107 Three-fourths to seven-eighths handle with a small amount of jar pottery remaining, more was there but has been broken off in modernity. Pottery color is brownish pink with white grits throughout and a grayish black core. Potter's wheelmarks remain on the inside of the jar pottery, and wet-smoothing marks remain on the handle. Bears an x2x impression. It looks like an impression was attempted five or six times on hard clay. Out of LMLK on top part of the initial Lamed, most all of the Mem, part of the second Lamed and perhaps a tiny trace of the head of the Kaph remain. On one of the two-winged emblems is the tail part of perhaps a Mem. The initial Lamed and Mem line up best with the H2D. There are chalky residue places here and there on the handle.
